ok, thanks, no problem . I solved it by setting in my AVR.

I have a 7.1 system in my homecinema, but have no need for the center anymore. Rpi3 and letting Kodi put out 7.1 channel audio PCM via HDMI, , so In Audio settings there is only 5.0, 5.1, 7.0 and 7.1, but no 6.1?

Is there a way around it?

In my Pioneer Receiver I can turn off the centerchannel, but then the dialog (center channel) sound will be missing, no sound when they are talking.

I have no speaker setup in my Pioneer Receiver wich I can choose my AVR to let the center channel sound go to the main speakers. So I was hoping kodi could do that for me?

I have som older PC:s with older nvidia Graphics cards, GT530, GT620, GT 730 and GTX 660, none of them support 24hz 1080p playback smooth, In LE whitelist there is no 1080p 24hz. My new OLED LG tv is not to blame so it must be the older graphics cards not supporting this refreshrate. did try LE generic legacy 12.01, and LE generic 8.2.5.

Or did I miss something to try?

No problem with Rpi3, supports 24hz.

Its no big deal but still annoying. is there a way to get the jerky playback less, some settings to try?

thanks, I will try that and get back here with the results...

running an older PC with Nvidia Graphicscard, both gtx660 and gt610, Im having issues with some H264 1080i videos.

using HW decoding most videos run fine in Generic LE 8.2.5, but not in latest Generic Legacy 12.0.1, do they have different ways of handling it?

All setting the same, adjust refreshrate on start/stopp, delay 3 seconds.

Im happy so far with the 8.2.5, but would have been good to know why the 12.0.1 struggles?

with struggle I mean its choppy and jerky playback, sound is fine.

ok, thanks.... I stick with the 8.2.5, no need to switch if it works, so it seems 8.2.5 and 9.2.6 should play/handle the same 1080i h264 video the same way?

Hi, i have an older PC with a GTX 660 graphics card inside, noticed once yesterday when playing a H264 1080i video 29,97fps with LE generic 8.2.5, it did freeze once.... did restart my PC, worked after that.... I tried other 1080i videos and it seemed to play it fine,, Ive also tried generic 9.2.6 and generic legacy 12.0.1, they also seemed to handle 1080i videos ok... They all seem to use VDPAU as HW decoder...

My 2 questions are:

Is there any difference between how these 3 version handle 1080i Videos with HW decoder? they all use VDPAU

What is Legacy?

(just want to know wich version to use, if any is better then the other)

I cant understand why, my VC1 codec works fine in 8.2.5 and 9.2.8 but not on the 11.0.3. or the 11.0.6

But on my other Rpi3 (have 2 more) it works fine on both with the LE 11

Mystery? maybee this Rpi3 is a older version of some kind. I give up, I will keep the 8.2.5 on this one as it works fine..

Thanks for all

where can I download the 11.0.3 please, I want to try that one first just to check

found the 11.0.3,,, will try and report back soon

ok, I dont understand where the: add the decode... line to /flash/config.txt. is?

Could you show me please where in the config file to add the decode_WVC1=0x00000000

for example here is where i did add the codecs in my Rpi3b NR1 and it works, bit this is with the LE 11.0.3:

[all]
################################################################################
# Use distroconfig-composite.txt instead of distroconfig.txt to enable
# composite video output.
# The composite video mode needs to be configured in cmdline.txt:

# For NTSC add: video=Composite-1:720x480@60ie
################################################################################
include distroconfig.txt
#include distroconfig-composite.txt
decode_MPG2=0x00000000
decode_WVC1=0x00000000

# uncomment to enable analog audio output
#dtparam=audio=on
#audio_pwm_mode=1

# uncomment to enable infrared remote receiver connected to GPIO 18
#dtoverlay=gpio-ir,gpio_pin=18

So you dont need any VC-1 License in the 11.0.6`?

Maybee its why it wont work in mine... I will try without the adding the VC-1 license code..

sorry, just tested, i only stutters on VC-1 playback... with or without the license code...

I give up, I will keep the LE 8.2.5

thanks...

Could you please show me where to add it please

for example, on the 8.25. and 9.2.8 you simply put it here, save it and it works:

################################################################################
# License keys to enable GPU hardware decoding for various codecs
# to obtain keys visit the shop at http://www.raspberrypi.com
################################################################################

# decode_MPG2=0x00000000
decode_WVC1=0x00000000

BUT the above text is not in the 11.0.6 config file, so where do i add the decode_WVC1=0x00000000

Hi, I have 3 of the Rpi 3 B+, 2 of them have no problem decoding VC-1 HW with LE 11.0.3

Now I wanted to try the 3rd Rpi 3 B+ with LE 11.0.6, it only stutters, I have the same setting in all...

Is there some changes to the latest 11.0.6 so it wont allow VC-1 HW decoding? cause it works in the 11.0.3

My VC-1 video files are 1080P and they have no problems running in LE 8.25 or 9.2.8 or 11.0.3 but not with the 11.0.6, why?

My VC-1 codecs are bought from Rasperri pi store..

Could it be so that I have forgotten how to add them right in the config file?

In the LE 8.2.5 and LE 9.2.8 you simply overwrite the #decode_WVC1=0x00000000 with decode_WVC1=0x00000000, then save and it works, but in LE 11.0.6 I dont know where in the config file to put the decode_WVC1=0x00000000?

Now I have tried LE11 with Rpi3, it seems to HW Decode h.264 fine and also play 5.1 sound @96khz

I also did run check disk in windows PC and now my hardrive will be recognized also

Thanks for the suggestions...

No time to test yet, but will try soon, but before I want to know is there HW support decoding H264 with Rpi3 and LE11 and 12?

ok, thanks, I will try that......

update: totally disaster, LE11 latest stable, didnt find my portable usb hard drive, so I really cant try anything. And then I noticed LE 11 have other HW Decoder, does this one support HW decoding VC-1 and MPEG 2 ?

So went back to latest LE 9, and all work perfect except 96Khz sound

ok, I will test LE11 or LE12 nightly...... will report back later, thanks.
